Bulldog Update

Greetings Bulldog Families,

This week, we distributed picture packets to your students. We have retakes next week, and they will need to return them if they would like a new package. (information below) We have a busy week coming up with the PSAT for Juniors, 9th Grade Vision Screening, a senior meeting and panoramic picture. The details are below.

We also reminded our students this week that our cell phone policy has not changed. Student cell phones should remain in their locker during the school day. We have had a great start to the year with this, and will continue with the policy in place.

If you student is attending the football game today at Lincoln, they will need to show ID to get in.

Thank you

Have a great weekend and Go Bulldogs!

There will be a SENIOR MEETING on Friday, October 23rd, 4th Hour 12:24-1:36pm in the Auditorium/Gym. Please report to your 4th hour at 12:24 for attendance, then I will call you down over the P.A.

Jostens will be here to provide information regarding ordering all things related to Graduation. This includes ordering cap and gown, Graduation announcements and Class of 2027 items. Immediately following this meeting, the entire Class of 2027 will take the Senior Class Panoramic photo in the gym. All ordering information will be provided to the students.

SENIOR YEARBOOK PHOTOS – DUE OCTOBER 30th

Seniors need to submit their own senior photos for inclusion in the yearbook.

Please ensure that your photo meets the following criteria:

· Professional quality (photos should be of high quality, though hiring a professional photographer is not required; no screenshots, selfies, or stickers)

· Outdoor background

· Full body or 3/4 body

· Portrait orientation (landscape photos will not be accepted)

· Full file size (do not reduce the file size when uploading)

Please upload your senior photo to https://photos.jostens.com/NY3NHY.

The deadline for submitting Senior photos is Friday, October 30. Due to yearbook printing schedules, we will not be able to accept photos submitted after this date.

(If you are experiencing financial constraints and are unable to afford a senior photo, please contact the yearbook editors for assistance: yearbook@chelseaschools.org)

Beginning Oct. 2, Michigan is moving youth work permits out of local schools and into the state’s new Youth Employment Permit Portal (YEPP) run by the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO).

CHS students that have a completed work permit on file do not need to do anything. This change is only for students that will require a work permit after October 2nd. These students will need to visit the website to complete the work permit process.
